Water
Water is the most abundant compound on Earth's surface, covering about 70 percent of the planet. In nature, water exists in liquid, solid, and gaseous states.
- Adhesion: the attractive force between two bodies of different substances that are in contact with each other.
- Cohesion: force that holds molecules of a single material together.
- Polarity: Enables many substances to dissolve in water.
- Heat Storage: A device or medium that absorbs collected solar heat and stores it for use during periods of inclement or cold weather.
